“
Juxtaposition is a way to my designer ’s hear t! I wanted to add a bit
of sof tness so I selected a color palette of: wheat, rose, light gray and grass. Along wit h t he color palette, t he modern arc hitectural details of t he venue + rentals were sof tened by incorporating a loose and organic floral design. Creating and styling intimate vignettes of bridal accessories, paper goods and coc ktail setting completed t he overall concept.

ON THE COVER
THE BRIDE Victoria Thomas wed Canon Cornelius on June 17, 2017.
THE LOOK THE GOWN | The bride’s dress was the combination of a beautiful Hayley Paige skirt from De Ma Fille and a custom designed bodice featuring a deep-V neck. JEWELRY | The bride kept with her polished bridal look with a pair of pearl stud earrings. Adding a sweet, sentimental touch to her look, she wore three diamond rings — one from one of her grandmothers who had passed away, one from her great grandmother, and one from her great-great aunt.. BEAUTY | A subtle, yet elevated, natural makeup look perfectly executed by Jennifer Trotter - Lip Service Makeup. Her look was completed with a delicate low updo with soft curls framing her face. FLORAL | Touches of loose and free flowing greenery added to the classic white florals in a stunning bouquet crafted by Sage Fine Flowers. THE GROOM | The groom went for a classic black tie look complete with a white dinner jacket, bow tie and loafers.

hicago native Elizabeth met Phil while they were studying at Texas Christian University. She was a junior at TCU while Phil was seeking his master’s degree. The pair had mutual friends and eventually met when one of their friends picked up Phil after a Texas Rangers watch party while Elizabeth was in the car. Phil knew he found “the one” that night and pursued her. Their families ended up meeting during TCU’s family weekend, and they have been inseparable since. To celebrate their three-year dating anniversary and Phil’s MBA graduation, the couple jetted to California. The last leg of their trip was spent relaxing in Orange County. On their second night, Phil made a reservation at the Montage Laguna Beach resort, a nostalgic spot for Elizabeth. Arriving to dinner early, Phil suggested they take a walk on the beach. As they soaked in the ocean views, Phil got down on one knee and romantically asked for Elizabeth’s hand in marriage.
